Daily schedule
7:30 to 8:30: Morning opening at Villa Vinderen (white villa in the school yard).
The morning opening staff can be found on the 2nd floor of the building. During the morning opening it is possible to participate in activities like drawing and board games. Some also eat their packed breakfasts before school starts. It is possible to make use of the morning opening with whole day admission (as opposed to half day).

Lunch
Four times a week the children eat their packed lunches in their classrooms at school. They eat either immediately after school ends. Thus, they must bring two packed lunches a day: One for school and one for Aktivitetsskolen. One day per week we serve a hot meal in the classroom. The menu can be found in the weekly schedule.
It is highly important that you notify us about food allergies, or food that the children cannot eat. This can be indicated in the contract that you deliver during startup.
Areas in use / wardrobes
Aktivitetsskolen Vinderen is divided into three units called "baser":
1st grade: The 1st grades use common rooms next to the classrooms as base. These are furnished with equipment that enables construction and arts and crafts as well as reading. Aktivitetsskolen also uses classrooms, the assembly hall and the gymnasium. The 1st graders have the same wardrobe during Aktivitetsskolen as they use when at school.
2nd and 3rd grade: The 2nd and 3rd grade base is Villa Vinderen. The base is divided into different activity rooms: Construction room, reading room and a multipurpose room. The children make use of the wardrobe in the villa.
4th grade: 4th graders have a separate base room in the school building. It is furnished for construction, arts and crafts as well as reading. The classrooms, gymnasium and assembly hall will also be used by the 4nd graders during Aktivitetsskolen. The children use the same wardrobe as they use when at school.
Fees
Our payment fees are based on the family's gross income according last year's tax reports. For information concerning reduced fees, please contact us. You can find updated fees at the Oslo Kommune webpage.
Termination of contract
If you wish to terminate the contract, there is a one month termination period, starting from the 1st of the month. You are obliged to pay fees during the month of termination. You do not need to reply for admission to Aktivitetsskolen more than once. The contract lasts for four years, or until termination.
Whole day admission/ half day admission
It is possible to choose between whole day admission and half day admission. When choosing whole day admission you can use Aktivitetsskolen every day during our opening hours. Half day admission is free for all until August 2026. From August, half day admission is free for childeren enrolled in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. There is a fee for 4th graders. Half day admission is limited to twelve hours a week, and to two whole days during holidays. You are not able to attend the morning opening. Further you can come half a day during "planleggingsdager" and "inneklemte dager", for example election day.
If you would like to go from half time to hole day, or visa versa, you need to apply for changed admission before either 30/6 or 30/11, in Vigilo.
Delivery and pick-up
When school is over, a staff member from Aktivitetsskolen comes to the classroom to register the children present in Vigilo. When they are picked up or leave on their own they are checked out again. Please, do remember to check out / remind your child to check out. Do remember to pick up before 1630. If you are running late, please call us so we can organize our staff accordingly.
Daily messages / phone routines
Messages to baseleder must be registered in Vigilo no later than 12.00 o'clock. We inform the children about messages during lunch. For security reasons, we do not send the children home alone or with others as long as we have not received any message confirming that is OK. If you for example wish for you child to permanently walk home at a certain time of day each day, this can be registered by you in Vigilo, so that you do not need to send messages every day.
External activities
If the children participate in activities that are not organized by Aktivitesskolen (such as choir, football, sailing, etc.) please register this in Vigilo.
Parent / Aktivitetsskolen cooperation
Please contact us if you have questions or concerns. First, contact the baseleder, then the leader of Aktivitetsskolen if necessary. We will contact you if incidents have occurred during the day that requires special attention.
Vigilo
We use Vigilo for check in / check out, registering when the childeren can walk home without a parent, registering that a child shall be picked up by someone else than the parent that day and external activities. Vigilo is both an app and a webpage. For more information, please visit https://vigilo.no/osloskolen/.
